Welcome to the Town of Troutman
 Tucked away in the rolling Piedmont of North Carolina, Troutman is a safe and friendly community with a strong sense of our traditions and history. A walkable town surrounded by country roads and farmland, a town with gardens growing right off Main Street, a spacious town with ready access to many of our State's finest scenic and recreational locales.
From Troutman, it is a quick commute on nearby interstates to fully urban settings in Winston Salem, Greensboro or Charlotte.
You will find Troutman in the middle of Iredell County, five miles south of Statesville and eight miles north of Mooresville.
In March of 2005 and again in March of 2006, Site Selection magazine, the official publication of the International Development Research Council, picked the Statesville-Mooresville region as the Number One “Micropolitan Area" in America for 2004. (see article).
Troutman is at the very center of this rapidly growing economic region. New companies, new growth, new technologies and new approaches to regional and urban planning make Troutman's future progressive and picturesque.
Recent studies predict that Troutman is likely to double in size between 2005 and 2025, as the intense economic growth of the dozen or so counties adjacent to Iredell continues.
The challenge to our community will be to manage this transformation so that we retain all the best features of small town living, garner the benefits of new industries and high technology jobs and avoid unmanaged urban growth.
Iredell County is still intensely agricultural. In 2004, our county produced more cattle, corn and dairy products than any other in the State.
While we are blessed with agricultural abundance, the gradual loss of working farms remains a key concern in our County, which established a program to preserve farmland back in 2001.
